If the attitude is My Way, then Speak Lord is subject to the whim of your own ideas what the day should hold. If in the night you hear what you need, but move on a different road, since Your Way seems better, then that word you received falls by the wayside, lost forever. Like the parable of the seeds where the seed falls on hard ground and never germinates, then gets eaten by birds, never to take hold.
Hearing in the heart is not a pounding or a banging on the doors. Hearing in the heart is a soft gentle breeze that whispers to the soul. If your heart and mind are open, then you shall hear what the Spirit reveals to you in the darkness of night.
Since today is also World Human Spirit Day it is important to bring that spirit under subjugation to the One who made it in the first place. You fight on the world front many battles but the ones that show your true grit, are the ones you fight, behind closed doors, in the quiet of your closet, the silence of being alone with your Maker.
Never forget when fighting to keep your head above water that Your Way may not be God’s Way. His thoughts are different than our thoughts. His ways are different than our ways. And always better.
Stay the course. Have it your way, Thy will be done. Remembering always that when God offers, He will also lead.
On this World Human Spirit Day doing it My Way Day, choose to accept the spirit changing life that God offers His children. Which means do it His Way.
